The aim of the iQualify online introductory courses is to have every Official reach the same benchmark competency. All official licence holders will be required to complete the introductory course, no matter how long you have held a licence. As of June 2022, almost all current Licensed Officials have either completed or are scheduled to complete this course.

All the courses are designed under the guidance of the Heads of Department to cover the main points of interest, any pinch points present at the time of putting it together and incorporate the necessary skills required to perform the role.

To ensure we cover the necessary areas, the courses are constructed to take approximately four hours in their entirety to complete however, each course is set over a 2–3-week period. This enables the learner to complete it in smaller sections at times that suits them rather than all in one go.

Once both the online course and the ZOOM wrap-up call are completed, the Officials License will be issued.

These micro-modules are designed to promote consistency nationwide enabling the delivery of best practices within each role.

The micro-modules are designed as small learning bites that take about 15-20 minutes to complete and will contain key pieces of information for specific official roles. The content of these micro-modules is created from areas that the Head of Department receive feedback about from events along with other important areas that are key to running events.

Each official role will aim to have two micro-modules released per year.

There will be one face-to-face session run for each official role per license period. They will be developed by the Head of Department and take place at specific locations around the Country.

Information on these sessions will be released by MotorSport New Zealand in the newsletters and by direct email.

At the end of your licence period, each official will be required to take part in a renewal module.

This will be composed of information taken from both the micro-modules released throughout the license period and any areas that are significant at the time. They are designed to take around 30-45 minutes to complete. It will contain questions to ensure you understand the information previously covered.

This renewal module, along with the completion of the required micro-modules will need to be completed prior to the reissuing of an officials licence.
